The SF18CE is a OO style folk guitar made with a solid Sitka top and mahog. back and sides. Like all our models it is very much a traditional style instrument with a modern, open sound. Being a smaller body guitar the tone is tighter and a little higher than our dreadnoughts but due to our bracing the SF18CE is still surprisingly powerful with great projection. Again like our dreadnoughts we use a scalloped, forward shifted X bracing system allowing more of the soundboard to vibrate resulting in a lively and exciting little guitar to play.

This is our acoustic electric model with the fantastic SET65 dual pickup system and EQ from B-BAND. A premium system which recreates the guitars natural tone when plugged in and allows the player to find the sound they need for different playing styles by blending between the under saddle, or bridge plate pick up. The system also had a three band graphic EQ and digital, backlit tuner.

Without doubt this guitar is perfect for folk and blues but can really handle big open chord strumming very well too.

Traditional components such as a real bone nut and saddle, mahog. neck with a dovetail joint and rosewood bridge and fingerboard add to its tonal capabilities and overall quality, and cosmetically it’s a true classic with tortoiseshell binding and pickguard.
